Choosing fonts and font sizes

Fonts are sets of chracters, numbers, and simbols in a specific style or desing.

By default, PowerPoint presentations have two fonts: one font for the headings and one for the body text.

Using autofit to change text size By default, texts in the

placeholder boxes on a slide layout are set to AutoFit, so that if you type more text into them than will fit, the text automatically gets smaller so that it will fit into the placeholder. If there is more room in the placeholder the text automatically will get lager.

Applying font styles and effects

Text on a PowerPoint slide can be boldfaced or italized, underlined, or formated with other atrributes such as strikethrought or shadow.

Changing font color An easy way to

change text appearance is to modify its color.

Use the Font Color button in the Font group to access a palette of colors you can apply to selected text.
